Part 1 (US Mss 149AN; Audio 1773A; film call numbers): Original Collection, 1939-19764.8 cubic feet (12 archives boxes), 57 audio recordings (1/4-inch reel), and 45 films (16 mm) The Ernest Pendrell Papers, 1959-1976, consist primarily of material on his production of documentaries for television and motion pictures, but there is also a small amount on his plays and a ballad he wrote. The collection is arranged into 8 series: Theater; Motion Pictures; Ballad; Television – Produced; Television – Unproduced; Correspondence; Films; and Audio Recordings. Included in the Theater series are scripts of four plays, 1959-1962, that were produced in Europe (mainly England) and on Broadway. Arrangement is by copyright date. The Motion Pictures series contains material on two films: Even For One (Dynamic Films, produced for the AMA, 1954), which was awarded the Golden Reel for the best film of its type for that year and The Guns of August (Universal, 1964), a documentary about the outbreak of World War. There is a draft of a ballad he wrote in 1973, "The Ballad of George Williams (The Tale of a Very Old War)." Television material, 1962-1973, is arranged in two parts: produced and unproduced. The Television -- Produced series contains a script for the Dupont Show the Week), and a script for a production on British television called The Day the Madonna Sang (1962). There are also transcripts of some of the extensive interviews Pendrell did as part of his research for a production, correspondence, scripts, and production materials for documentaries he prepared for ABC's Scope series, ABC's Directions, and PBS's Feeling Good, as well as half-hour and hour documentaries for ABC and NBC. These include such outstanding documentaries as the award-winning Terror in Northern Ireland, and Energy Crisis: The Nuclear Alternative. Arrangement is chronological by airdate and thereunder by production order. Several of his ABC productions are also represented by films. The films are listed in the Films series. The Television – Unproduced series consists of shooting scripts and scant correspondence about some of his uncompleted documentaries, 1965-1968. The Correspondence series contains correspondence regarding his personal affairs, business matters such as network policies and production problems inherent in producing series of documentaries, a 1972 seminar on American documentary film making sponsored by the Colombian government, and the establishment of this collection in the Wisconsin Center for Theater Research. The Films series are copies of some of the documentaries produced including those for ABC Scope. The Audio Recordings series consists mostly of recordings on “Drugs” from ABC, as well as a few other recordings.
